For this week's video we wanted to try something a little different with Don't Tread On Media. 3 weeks ago, the TSA released this "Kids Animation"
video via their official YouTube channel: www.youtube.com...
For a government agency that spends over $7,000,000,000 a year and doesn't have one legitimate case of a stopped terrorist attack to show for it, an
animated short portraying themselves in a favorable (even lovable) light aimed at children seems like a pretty blatant example of propaganda to me.
So we decided to give it the DTOM treatment and do our own voiceover/remix of the video to open up a conversation about the current state of the TSA,
where the organization seems to be headed and why the hell we are allowing them to continue increasing security precautions when they still haven't
stopped anyone. From where I'm standing it seems like we are throwing billions of dollars at an illusion of safety that takes away some of our most
basic rights to privacy, and indoctrinating kids to like it.
Granted the government using animation as propaganda is nothing new (remember all those WWII cartoons? - www.youtube.com...),
but we're not talking about Nazis here, this is about our own Homeland Security. I hope you guys like the vid and share it online if you do--we
annotated the original animation at the end because we really think both videos need to be seen.
We're also incredibly pleased with the positive feedback the ECETI video has been getting--Part II features James addressing the issue of fakers in
the UFO community who are only in it for the $$$ (an accusation he himself is no stranger to) and why so many organizations in the community insist on
calling each other out rather than working together to uncover true UFO history. It will be out next week, and we're working on a huge story based on
your suggestions of what you'd like to see covered--keep 'em coming, we love hearing from you.
Bye TV,

*BUMP* The first video definitely propagandizes the TSA as a friendly agency. The second video is freaking awesome!... my favorite aspect of the
second video was the minor lines of the security officials, "No talking," "No eye contact." hahaha
Better bump this baby (move along). I watched it again and saw some subtle stuff I missed ("Everyone is suspect #1"). It'd be fun to send this to
TV stations as a public service announcement to see how many of them air it - betcha a few would.
Haha I am glad you enjoyed it / caught some of the easter eggs we sprinkled in. I've been tweeting it to a ton of journalists trying to get it some
traction. I think people associated with every political party can relate to it and thats what can make this video resonate with people

Can't argue with that. I could see it making a little kid feel not-so-scared on his first trip to the airport though.
I've seen quite a few kids screaming in fear at the perverts groping them at the airport.. Some parents have body slammed a few of them. I wouldn't
be as kind though, which is why I don't fly anymore.
Love that video!, what is even funnier is that it is the real truth and not just satire.. The TSA was just a scam to begin with. A false flag that is
ongoing.
I fail to see the humor of ridiculing a system that has a serious job to perform.
I understand that things can sometimes not be up to par and no large organization is beyond screw ups, but on my last 8 trips to the US I have had
zero problems and never witnessed any out of order type event.
I see the need to make a video to assure kids that the process can be overwhelming but all in all MOST people get through unscathed.
Another attempt to drum up fear mongering by the conspiracy crowd.
I don't know how to say this without sounding harsh so I will just say it.
It is in the box perspectives like yours which is allowing a totalitarianism government to spiral the USA into the ground.
Well, lets see....I say what i said and you blame me for allowing the government to do what you imagine it does.
However, the citizens of the US are completely to blame. If it is so bad then why do they continuously do NOTHING EVER about it, save for complaining
on message boards. Why has nothing been done? Why do you get more worked up about your second amendment rights than any of the others. Hmmmmm very
puzzling how the "people" just let these so called mishaps happen and do absolutely nothing!!
That says more about the people than the government. Maybe, its all down to conspiracy fans blowing things way out of proportion? Im not saying it is,
im just posing questions.
